<r> Here is a screenshot of the Steel Panthers 3 game running with DOSBox. The scenario is called "Supercharge". The resolution is of course just 640x480 and you can see how units are represented as a platoon of 4 or 3 tanks. The hex scale in SP3 is also larger at 250 yards/hex instead of 50.<br ...

<r> Well just for fun I tried running SP3online with Dxwnd and it does run after setting up the launch field with the "direct" parameter. The resolution is just 640x480 and I can only use the scenario editor. So not that usefull but at least it still runs.<br/>

R2 this can be posted at the Depot of course as you know.

Yes, of course. I see no reason not to post it there also. I just wasn't registered at the Depot a year ago.

<t> For 1960-79 mod it is fine. However for Panzer Leo's H2H mod a separate update may be needed. The simplest thing would be to just use MechEdit04 to transfer the H2H experience/morale tables into the 8.403d mech.exe. However the original H2H mod is based on SPWAW v.7.1. I do remember that an ...

Thanks everyone for checking this out, I'm very careful about downloading files anymore and when a warning pops up it's a real concern.

That is perfectly understandable in this day and age.

<r> It is classified as a suspicious file by Trend. That is better than a false positive which would actually deny running the file completely. Now at least it gives you the option "Open File" that should run it.<br/>

Just to be sure I downloaded the patch and compared it to the original 8 ...

Well if you prefer the Combat Mission style then that is fine. However there are others who prefer the top down turn based strategy games on a hex grid. To each his own.

And no other game can ever surpass Steel Panthers. It is one of the great classics of all time!
